Does it have the same engine as the 2CV? A girlie that lives by us has a C1 and it has the same, distinctive sound as the old 'upside down pram'. But surely that engine is too old now? :-\
-
It can't have, emission and all that. But then a few 3 cyl petrols sound the same tinny/rattling noise as the 2CV.
I doubt the 2CV 600cc lump would actually move a modern car...

Yup, it needs those extra 2 ;D

It deffo has the same high-pitched whine, fiestas and the like with three cylinders don't sound like this. Maybe just a Citroen thing :-\

Originally got by with a paltry 375 cc. Later versions 'beefed up' to 425 cc.
The 602 cc lump came much later. :y

It is possible to squeeze the four cylinder engine from a GS into a 2CV. If you're crazy ;D

How about a 500 cubic inch V8, or would that be overkill? :)

If you get one from a Cadillac Eldorado you would retain the FWD, complete with the engine in front of the gearbox. Some bonnet mods would be necessary, and I doubt the hubs/brakes/suspension/'chassis' would last very long. 500Nm torque at 2000rpm(that's the lowest number :y ) will break stuff without breaking a sweat.

My friend who is currently weighing up getting a 2.2 Omega has a Citroen C1.
She hates it, and says it rattles like a marble in a tin box. She calls it her "Shitroen"!! ;D ;D ;D ;)

not to mention the fact it would be insanely suicidal

A 2CV can, eventually, hit 85 :o
-
yeah I guess it can just need the height to drop it from :D...2 miles up should do it :y
-
Mum had one, and when the M25 first opened 80 was the minimum 'safe' speed.
She upgraded to a Fiesta as it felt insignificant next to all the lorries :D
-
I have been driven around a racetrack by a maniac in a 2cv. I have never been so terrified. ;D
-
i did once have a go at 2cv racing...frightening did not cover it don't know about racing line..getting the ruddy thing to go in a straight line was an ambition
-
Wife & daughter have C1s. The engines are 3cyl 1 litre units made by Toyota & knock out 68bhp. Great around town or on the flat - but don't do going up hills very well!
Lightweight build, don't go any great distance in them - seem to average 60mpg regardless of how driven.

Is that a euphemism for fun (in a deranged sort of way)? :D

I think you're right STEMO. They genuinely sound shite and like they're missing ;D a couple of times I've put plugs in and fired it up and thought "shite, I must've forgot to attach a plug lead". To find I've attached all leads and then remember it's a C1 ;D
-
I had a new C1 as a courtesy car.. and unsurprisingly driving down the M5 with a fair load in it took it about ten years to reach anywhere near motorway speeds.
